George Leo Haydock, on Heb 9:1

“The former indeed had also justifications of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.”

“The former. [1] In the ordinary Greek copies is expressed the former tabernacle; but even the Protestant translators have abandoned that reading, and understand the former testament or covenant, which they have put in a different character. — Worldly sanctuary, or a temporal sanctuary, to last only for a time, like the things of this world. (Witham) — The word ordinances ( dikaiomata ) is frequently used for the laws and ordinances of God, because the observance of the laws is the justification of man; see particularly in the 118th Psalm, the legal rites justified in regard to the outward policy of the Jews.”
